Topic: You know when you feel all "wow so profound, what is meaning?"

Some would say that what you experienced was something like a void in meaning, which is ironic because the experience is that there is something very meaningful around that you just can't come into words and you can't because it just isn't there.

Meanings and meanings are not the same thing. There are various meanings that exist in the world, such as the meanings of the words "dog" and the color blue. Then there are the meanings that exist only in your mind, such as the significance of a beloved song or a particular memory.
There is meaning in the world, but you are unable to access it, which is why you feel a hole in meaning. It's as though there is a hidden code that you are unable to decipher. The meaning should be there, but it isn't, leaving an emptiness in its place.
I think instead, rather than me not being able to "access" something in my mind, i am rather kind of "searching" for some meaning when there ain't none. Don't get me wrong, sometimes there is meaning and sometimes not.
